# Code Engineering

Orient before editing: inspect the project map, read instructions/manifests, search exact symbols or errors, then patch the smallest coherent set of files.

Prefer deterministic `apply_patch` for source edits. Run focused checks first, repair failures, then broaden checks only when useful. Summarize changed files, commands run, and residual risk.
